PhD Courses in Denmark

Date and time: 28-30 October and 18-20 November from 9:00 to 15:00

During the course, you will be working with, among other things:

• the characteristics, framework and conditions of university teaching
• students' learning processes, prerequisites and diversity
• learning objectives, examinations and learning activities and the alignment between them
• the learning space and its importance for student learning
• a wide array of student-centred learning activities and tools
• criteria-based feedback
• examination 

You will be working with these topics in a wide variety of ways both before, in and between the six days, as the activities of the course will also serve as inspiration for how you may teach. As a core course activity, you will be asked to plan and conduct a small example of your own teaching and then receive feedback from the other course participants and teachers. 

You will receive further information about learning objectives, course content and working methods upon admission to the course. 

Academic Aim
The overall purpose of the course is for you as a participant to be able to plan and facilitate university teaching and examination based on knowledge and understanding of a number of basic pedagogical theories and methods, as well as of the given framework and overall goals for university education. An additional purpose is that you learn to see your own and others' teaching in an analytical, constructive and reflexive manner, to evaluate appropriate strategies and ways of acting on this basis and to spar with colleagues on teaching and educational issues. 

Course organizers: Bjarne Simmelkjær Sandgaard Hansen and Andrea Frasiska Møller Gregersen.

Preparation and programme
